​February has been a good example of 'head in the oven, feet in the freezer' type of weather - you're quite comfortable in the middle. The month has seen swings from +10°C to -30°C, but according to Ormstown weatherman Peter Finlayson, the average was just about normal at -7.5°C - not that the average did us much good when the car wouldn't start on one of those bitterly cold mornings! There was quite a bit of rain and snow last week, 22 mm and 14 cm respectively, bringing the monthly total to 65 mm of precipitation, which again is about normal.
